Counsel to the two parties in the suit, Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN) and Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), for the Federal Government and the National Assembly respectively, signed the settlement

However, in his response, Ojo said the plaintiff was concerned with the National Assembly, which had failed to fulfill the requirement of section 9 (3) of the constitution, particularly the required 4/5 membership of the National Assembly in passing the amendment

Awomolo, in the application, urged the court to discharge its order of interlocutory injunction made on May 7, which restrained National Assembly from overriding the president’s veto of the amendments

Ekweremadu said, “I request all of us to make available tomorrow to discuss the amendments to the Constitution, and be able to respond appropriately to the development. Please let those, who are not available, know that we will have close session tomorrow to discuss this item so that we will be able to fashion out the way forward
